"Southside With You" stars Parker Sawyers and Tika Sumpter as a young Barack and Michelle Robinson Obama, respectively. The film focuses on the couple's first date on an evening in 1989 and their first kiss outside an ice cream parlor. While the Obamas themselves haven’t made an official comment on the film, Tanne claimed at a Q&A that they were supportive. “We’ve heard from some pretty reliable sources that they are aware [of the film],” he said. “They are excited. And they are also a little baffled by its existence.” In Theaters August 19, 2016. Posted By Persist
